Kelp DAO: Exploit Triggers Aave Crunch
Kelp DAO exploit causes $6.2B withdrawal panic on Aave, sparking crypto market crash fears amid ETH price prediction volatility.
SourceAn exploit in Kelp DAO has ignited a liquidity crisis on Aave, with users scrambling to withdraw over $6.2 billion in assets, echoing the crypto market crash vibes from last year's DeFi meltdowns. This mess hits right as Bitcoin (BTC) hovers in uncertain territory, potentially amplifying broader market jitters and drawing parallels to vulnerabilities in projects like RaveDAO.
Zooming into the ETH 4h chart, price action clings to $2298.63 amid a bearish trend where the EMA50 at $2314.07 acts as immediate overhead resistance, while the EMA200 at $2193.94 provides longer-term support below. MACD's death cross at -0.99 screams bearish momentum, and with RSI at 40.2 neutral but leaning weak, ETH trades snug inside Bollinger Bands—upper resistance at $2438.2 capping upside while lower support at $2280.85 guards against deeper slides. Confluence here points to exhaustion; if this Aave panic spills over, expect a probe toward that EMA200 support before any rebound, especially with volatility bands signaling no immediate breakout.
